The drought that lasted from the beginning of the year to the end of August in the 22nd year of Tianwen finally came to an end in a light rain in early September.

However, the aftereffects of the drought have completely erupted in this season.Due to the months-long drought, the citizens of various countries were unable to carry out spring plowing, and the continuous wildfires also caused many citizens to lose their homes and become refugees.With the arrival of the autumn harvest, due to the large-scale failure of the autumn harvest, the grain storage in the homes of the leaders was almost exhausted, so the number of the leaders who lacked clothing and food increased.These leaders immediately became a problem that every powerful and powerful name needed to deal with immediately.

As for the Bungzen and Bungo regions that Masara had been paying attention to before, wealthy families such as the Sugi family and the Otomo family also encountered such problems.Originally, they planned to launch a joint attack on Luo's family after the spring plowing this year, but they encountered such a drought in the end.In order to ensure the spring plowing of the territory and this year's autumn harvest, and it was inconvenient to fight in such dry weather, they had to suspend their battle against the Luo family.

However, they suspended their battle against Luo's family, but it didn't mean that Zheng Liang planned to let them go.Although the Luo family's territory also suffered from drought, the good water conservancy facilities in some areas and the previous savings of the territory can fully support the Luo family's launch of a large-scale raid during this period.

To be on the safe side, Masaragi also specially recruited his retainers to assess the impact on the internal affairs of the territory caused by the territory's departure from the southeastern part of Bungomae country and the northeastern part of Bungo country. The conclusion is that even if the drought continues next year .Take the income from the autumn harvest of the territory at this time.Still able to support the daily operations of the territory.And even if this battle stretches to a year.It is also possible to support the fight, but the reserves of the territory are likely to be exhausted.

After reaching this conclusion, Zheng Liang gritted his teeth and directly decided to do it.The drought this time caused chaos in the southeast of Bungzen and the northeast of Bungo. It was a favorable opportunity for the Luo family to take part in the battle, and Zheng Liang did not intend to let it go anyway.

Now that he planned to do something, Masarai immediately secretly ordered the Cabinet and the Military Excellency to prepare for the battle, and he discussed with the intelligence cabinet headed by Yamamoto Kansuke a series of attacks against the southeastern part of Bungzen and the northeast of Bungo. The strategy of the powerful clans in the northern region.These strategies are mainly as follows:

First of all, Masara is the Sugi family, Kamimoyamada family, Nonaka family, Usa Omiya Shi family, Otomo family, Yoshizuru family, Takeda Tsu family, Fulai family, Tahara family, Naita family, Kifuke family, and Tianbei family. Write a few autograph letters.The letters will all mention their own alliance with the Luo family.

This letter will definitely not be sent to the target powerful family with great fanfare. On the contrary, it will secretly enter the territory of other powerful families near the target powerful family, and then pretend to lose it unintentionally so that other powerful families adjacent to the target powerful family can get this letter. letter.Anyway, the desired effect is to let these wealthy families know that the adjacent wealthy families are likely to have secretly communicated with the Luo family.

Although these powerful families may not all believe the contents of these letters, in this era, even brothers, fathers and sons may not be able to believe it, so they have to be on guard.Therefore, Zhengliang's strategy may seem like a conspiracy, but in fact it is a conspiracy to make all the wealthy families have to be fooled.

Just rely on these letters.Let these rich families have to be suspicious of each other and guard against each other.Under such circumstances, when the Luo family invaded the area later.These wealthy families could no longer trust each other to unite and resist, and achieved the goal of dividing these wealthy families.

Secondly, the Luo's family began to dispatch spies pretending to be smugglers who passed through the Luo's water defense line, and began to sneak into the local area to buy food and other supplies.Since the Luo family defeated the Sugi family's army in Matsuyama Castle, and the Sugi family's water army was taken over by Tao Longfang, due to the loss of the protection of the Sugi family's water army, from the coast of the Otomo family in the northeast of Bungo country to The southeast coast of Fengqian country is within the attack range of the Luo family's navy.That is to say, since last year, the Luo family's navy has completely blocked the maritime trade in these areas by taking advantage of the number of warships. It is estimated that the other party is in urgent need of various supplies.

Although the local wealthy families may not be willing to sell supplies such as food, there will always be some stupid people who will be fooled by the temptation of money and other supplies.Moreover, Buzen Country has always been the largest copper mine producing area in Kyushu. In addition to copper mines, there are also minerals such as gold mines and sulfur in the southeastern region of Buzen Country.During this period of time, it is estimated that due to the blockade of the surrounding business routes by the Luo family, they have accumulated a lot of minerals for storage. Under the temptation of profits, they will have to conduct transactions.The investigators of the Luo family just pretended to make a deal with them and let them start transporting these materials to the seaside, which caused these wealthy families to waste their own materials (such as food). As a result, when they arrived at the seaside, they got people to go to the seaside. .

Of course, the main purpose of these detectives entering the local area is to spread rumors everywhere.The content of the rumor is very simple, that is, there is food distribution in the neighboring Luo family's territory, as long as they defect to the Luo family, they will have food, fields, and even a place to live.

After hearing the news, the local refugees who lacked clothing and food, and seemed unable to survive this winter, could imagine the consequences it would cause.A large number of refugees will inevitably rush to the border checkpoints bordering the territory of the Luo family with their families.

At this time, the local wealthy families will face difficult choices.To keep these people, they can only take out the food in their own territory for disaster relief, but this will consume a lot of food for them.Once the Luo family's army arrives in the future, even if they hide in the city, due to the shortage of food, they may have to open the city and surrender sooner or later.In the final analysis, it is impossible to fight a protracted war.

Not opening the warehouse to store grain, and then forcibly intercepting these refugees will definitely cause conflicts with these refugees, and even arouse the resistance of these refugees, becoming a mob in the territory.Then the local wealthy will have a headache.

As for letting all these refugees go, that is also impossible, because the leaders are all gone, where will they go to mobilize farmers and soldiers in the future!Moreover, these people all ran to the border of the territory, which would inevitably cause chaos in the local area.If the Luo family took the opportunity to send troops, it would be troublesome.

In short, under the strategy of the Luo family, both the southeastern region of Bungzen Country and the northeastern region of Bungo Country will inevitably fall into chaos. (To be continued..)
